Personally I'd get the Orville....never heard of the other one. And the orville is not Korean, it's MIJ.

Also not a fan of 3 PU les pauls.

Having said that, that seems really expensive for an orville.

I see standard orvilles on Rinkya (yahoo japan) for like half that. Even with tax and shipping I doubt it would be more expensive than the one you're looking at. Other brits might be able to tell you the fees though as I don't know.

?500 for a K Orville? Wow never realised they went for that much maybe I need to start selling off some of my fuji stuff.

I've got a Terada ObG and no complaints so I'm sure there are plenty of decent K Orvilles out there too. I've usually stuck to the fuji stuff just because the earlier K Orvilles seem to be a bit hit and miss when it comes to quality, allen key truss, rods scarf joints etc. The fuji stuff always seems to be more consitent whether it the MIJ Epi's , Greco's or Orvilles, imo.

Of the two the Orville would be the pick though as I've seen plenty of those branded LP's on YJ (recognise the custom trc) and never seem to sell for much so can't imagine they're much more than a budget guitar for the stores.

Guitar prices do seem ridiculously high at the moment. Was pondering an OBG, but they seem to be up around ?700-?900.

I don't think I have seen a decent condition MIJ Greco, Burny, Orville at less than ?500 for a long time. Guess that because they are comparatively rare. Or because they are all in the hands of dealers/collectors?

Bring back the good old days when no-one had a clue. Jeez, I wish I had kept some of the ones I sold.
